    Seeing the title given to the OP, I thought there was a fire at Shell....:-) highly misleading



    I'm quoting this purely from the point of view that this is perhaps the closest we'll ever get to a coherent post from hpuseless?

    i have a friend who works in stairlift manufacture who informs me that a boycott can be considered a "compulsary public action" which does not provide a dedicated list of rules or timeframes that should be adhered to. it does however result in the action being seen as something which others are liable to face requirement to conduct.

    There's something wrong with you, honestly. I would get myself checked out with medical professionals if I were you.

    You are definitely a class A loony.

    !!!!!! Emz, you are well sorted girl, for when you retire !


    You can have a cheap Conservatory off your mate, who knows diddly squat, A free Stairlift off your other half baked mate and a taxi driver to take you to the nearest High security mental hospital !


    Happy Days !

    i visited the garage today to fill up my husband's car and they were able to accept cards. i informed them that they did not have a clear sign up stating that they accepted cards, but they declined to admit that they were required to do this.

    Your problem was that they didn't have a clear sign that they didn't accept cards, now it's the opposite, they can't win can they?

    i am boycotting from today as should you. the problem is the other garage only sells to regular customers at special rate so is best avoided.


    If you boycott Shell & just go here you become a regular & get the discount, plus eventually another friend in a different business

    I just have to post this:

    Was browsing the Praise, Vent & Warnings board (as you do ;)) and noticed this thread:
    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4961015

    It's titled
    The UK Post Office is not to be trusted - they are a shell company
    and then read this post:

    i am boycotting Shell after the way they treated an elderly lady and refused to comply with simple uk laws. i did not know they also own the post office i will avoud them to.

    Honestly, you couldn't make it up. :rotfl:Well, I couldn't.

    So, people - if you are one of the people who've joined Emz11's call to boycott Shell, you should also consider boycotting The Post Office - because they are a 'shell' company too. smiley-rolleyes008.gif

    What would you rather believe?

    That Emz is a troll, and that we live in a society where trolling can be a full time occupation.

    OR

    That Emz is in fact not a troll, but a dysfunctional member of society that you run the risk of meeting at some point in your life.

    Emz11 will probably get a plumber to check her out!

    You need to phone up your local conservatory standards officer and report them then.

    Are they the people who issue conservation orders?
